Noragami - Season 1 Review

Yato-sama is a god, he is barely that. He is not known by many humans, he doesn't have a shrine to himself and is like a stray, homeless person living off the streets of Japan. He advertises in graffiti to fulfil any wishes people may ask and gets odd jobs which he completes for 5 Yen. As a god he also has a responsibility to kill Ayakashi which roam around and cause people harm. The Ayakashi are corrupted spirits which seek to corrupt humans to do terrible things either hurt others or kill themselves.





During one of Yato-sama's lesser errands he is tasked to find a lost cat to fulfil a little boy's wish. Yato-sama, in pursuit of the cat jumps in front of a bus. A girl 'Hiyori' notices this and jumps to save him, she saves Yato-sama from being hit by the bus but she herself is hit by it. The accident doesn't seem to be fatal but her spirit escapes her body. After her body recovers, sometimes she suddenly loses consciousness and escapes her body as a spirit without her control and/or knowledge. She asks a wish of Yato-sama to fix her condition and their story begins. Added to the mix is a pre-teen uncorrupted spirit who is identified and named by Yato-sama to be his 'divine instrument'. He is called Yuki in his human form and he turns into a naked katana when his other name 'Sekki' is called.

The story is slowly paced which adds a charm, but moves quickly when the plot is picks up. The characters are well developed and enjoyable, the action is captured well in the anime. I would readily recommend this.


I just finished the first season of Noragami, looking forward to the second season.

Tobi is not Madara Uchiha and that is my verdict.

1. Zetsu’s Approach Zetsu keeps the name Tobi and he is the only person who is very close to Tobi, since he is a spy and has the most information in the entire Naruto universe, he exists everywhere planted beforehand blended with the environment. Zetsu also wonders how much Kabuto knows about them, in vary tone. They’ve got something to hide other than their fighting powers. Kabuto already knows most of their secrets which they’ve got hidden even from Akatsuki members to avoid an internal clash for power. 2. Tobi’s awe of Kabuto’s Re-animation. Okay, this is very very intriguing. Madara Uchiha is afraid of something; it’s also a very best kept secret. since Kabuto promises that he hasn't told a soul. Madara who can analyze and formulate any jutsu asks “how did you do this?” Who is he afraid of, let us think back, He is not afraid of anyone. He has had only reverence for Hashirama, even then it cannot be first or the second Hokages since they were sealed by the third H...

Working!! is fun and satisfying

Working!! is an anime about the interesting things that happen in a family restaurant called Wagnaria, primarily about the staff that work there. Every character is quirky in someway or the other and it makes for some good comedy and drama. I’d like to go over the characters in the series in the order of their importance and talk about how I feel about them. Taneshima Popura: Taneshima is a high school senior who is very short, she is confused for an elementary student most of the time.  She is very upbeat and works hard, but has a huge complex about her height and is sometimes pranked upon by fellow workers in Wagnaria. Takanashi Souta: Takanashi is a junior to Taneshima and is recruited by her to work in Wagnaria at the start of the series. He likes all things tiny and deeply adores Taneshima.  He is level headed most of the time and works hard. He has three elder sisters and one younger sister whom he has to ...
